USB connection

Before using your product for the first time, you must configure it using the proAIS2 software, via a PC connected to the USB connection.

Note

The ProAIS2 software can be downloaded from the Raymarine website:

www.raymarine.com/software

Important

Configuration of the unit includes programming it with an MMSI number. In the United States of America, it is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communications Commission to input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the end user or to otherwise input any inaccurate data in this device. The MMSI and Static Data must be entered only by a Raymarine dealer or other appropriately qualified installer of marine communications equipment on board vessels.

Ensure you check the regulations for your location to ensure you are allowed to configure MMSI data on your unit.
